Berdan's Sharpshooters.

Gen. Berdan, now living at Wash
ington, came over to New York few
days since to attend the reunion of the
Third Army corps at the Windsor ho-
tel. He is the man who organized the
famous regiment Of sharpshooters at
the commencement of the war, everv
man of whom was tested as to his cor
rectness and precision of aim before
being admitted to the organization.
When the boys joined they were I'M
der the impression that once in the
field every man would be allowed to
scout around on his own hook, and
from behind any convenient stump or
covering pick off the rampant rebels
at their leisure. Gen. then Col.-Ber-
dan had q rather misty impression
himself that such would be the case,
but when the regiment got out to the
front they found themselves enrolled
IN an army corps and put to duty like
the thousands around them who had
never handled a gun. There was a
good deal OF kicking at first, but the
boys finally settled down to the inev-
liable, and though now and then few
details for sharpshooting were made
from them the aptitude of the oEdi-
nary volunteers in handling their ri
f1es soon made it evident that their
special training was not Of much worth
in the war. So the regiment made IFS
reputation not so much because of
precision in shooting as it did by its
soldierly and fighting record. for it
left in the graves along its four years
service over seven hundred Of its orig
inal volunteers York Graphic.

Idle Brains and Hands,

Bishop Peck has lately pr oduccd some
prominent ideas about dormant forces
and idle muscles. He instances the
idle young man. No power comes
from his muscles. They were made to
be strong for work, but he does moth
ing. Devoted to agriculture. or handi-
craft, the physical force which is DOR
mant within him would give bread and
health and responsibility. AS it is, he
issonly nuisance; perhaps a loathsome
object of pity and contempt. And the
bishop takes the true ground that an
industrious young boot-black is better.
and is better of. than a loafng miscre-
ant sprig of aristocracy.
Work is demanded everywhere. All
departments are languishing for want
Of faithful, skilled workers, whether it
be making streets, saving wood, or in
the higher branches of skill and art,
and yet, witnesses the good bishop,
amid all the din of labor in farming,
manufactures, in all the industrial arts,
these men have nothing to do! How
did other men get work? BY thinking
quickly and acting promptly; by seiz-
ing the best, the first that came
to hand. Tramping, lounging, beg
ging, never gave employment to any
man. The thousands of idlers
have made themselves viciously
brainless. The lapse of powers, active
and bright enough in children, has
come of parental indulgence, german
dining, laziness, INDUCED dependence,
drinking, disuse OF misdirection. Grand
fields OF industry, wealth and useful
ness lie around this idle, shiftless nui-
sance, but he cannot think himself into
them. He has lost his sole eyesight.'
The very bread, money, comforts, ele-
gances he signs for are within reach of
his hands, but he cannot see them;
wouldn't know them if he did see them.
But he does not only denounce the
ldler, he tells him how to find employ
ment Employ yourself then. Sell
that apple instead of eating it. Sell it
and buy two. Sell the two and buy
more. Before YOU know it you will
have a basket full-be a trader, a mer-
chant, valuable citizen. Do not hang
about the city doing nothing. Push
out into the country; sieze an ak; cut
up few sticks of somebody's wood.
Earn your dinner. Don't beg it. Get
hold of spade; show somebody that
you are just the man they have wante d
for a long time to make "a garden.
Sieze a pillow, and if you don't know
how to hold it, learn. s.Hands all
blistered!' Very well. Glad of it.
The first signs of life in you for lon g
time. If you had blistered them before
they would have been tough and good
for something by this time.

Mcpherson and others who knew Mr..
Lincoln well, that he was greatly
gratitied with the evidence that he had
received in the last years of his life that
scholars and cultivated writers were
paying the highest tribute to his
charms as writer Of English But he
was even more surprised at it. He
knew that cultivated men, even after
his debates with Douglas and after his
first inaugural, were of the opinion
that he was utterly without other
literary powers than those of a good
stump speaker. He was believed to be
man of strong character, but wholly
without literary polish, and it was gen
orally believed that such polish as his
greatest speeches revealed was the
work of some cultivated friends or
skillful secretaries. He had advanced
far in his first term before his literary
abilities began to be admitted by schol-
airs. but his second inaugural, very
hastily written composition, and the
Gettysburg Grafton brought the long
delayed tributes.
One of his historians points out that
long before Mr. Lincoln had more than
local repute he had given proof of
great literary abilities. This historian
quotes Lincoln's speeca made while in
congress in 1873 on the subject of the
Mexican war, and says: with this

Heavy Life Insur ance.

It is curious fact-at least to a ma
jor;ty of people-that very wealthy
Americans are as a rule quite as anx-
ious to insure their lives for the benefit
of their families as are those citizens
whose portion of the worlds goods is
small. It is the most positive indica-
ton of the feeling of instability at
taching to riches, and the fear that
they may at any moment take unto
themselves wings and fly away. The
heaviest life insurance policy known
here is that Of John Wanamaker, the
Philadelphia merchant, amounting to
10000. J. B. Stetson and Hamilton
Disston. of the same city, carry $685.
600 and $500. 900 respectively. Hon.
Chauncey M. Depew's mind is easy re-
garding his family's welfare in case of
his death, as he has half million policy
slowed away. The well-kno.yn DR..
Hostetter, of Pittsburgh, is not alto
gether confident of his patent medi-
cnes, for he has 100000 policy.
Pierre Lorillard carries one for $780,
900, and G. NJ. Pullman, of palace-car
fame, 100000. Nearly dozen we'll
known business men OF this city have
secured themselves in sums quite as
large.
Politicians, as a rule, are not partial
to life insurance. They do not wish to
be obliged to die to win. Senator Far
well, of Illinois, however, carries a
policy for $223,OO0; Senator McP herson
is insured for $4,000, and Don Cam
eron for 500. 600. Senator John
Sherman is also heavily insured.
Editors seem to take. as kindly to
life insurance as they do to good clothes
and religion. Royal M. Pulsifer, the
presiding genius of The Boston Herald,
leads the list, carrying the policies to
the amount of S25o,Ooo. Charles A.
Dana is insured for $40, 900; George
w. Childs, of the Pi.iladelphsa Ledger,
for $100, 600; Benjamin Wood of The
Nea0 York. Daily Nee0s, for $50, 1000;
William Bross, of The Chicago Tribune,
for $4,000; W. w. Harding Of The
Philadelphia Inquirer. for $50. 600;
Horace White. Of The Evening Post,
for $50, 600, and Morton McMichael, Of
The Philadelphia North A1nerica,s, for
the same amount, while Stilson Hutch
ms. of The, Washington Post, carries a
policy of $50. 900.
Lawrence Barrett is probably the
heaviest insured among the actors. He
is insured for $40, 600. Rev. I. De-
Witt Talmage carries a policy Of $780,
600. NeU York Mail and Eg sress.

The New W ay.

1t is evident to the traveller who
travels on thousand mile ticket, and
who formerly travelled on pass, that
the companies have been tampering
with their conductors. The pass trav-
eler had got SO that every conductor
knew him, and did not look at his pass
but once a year, to get the number
of his new pass. Now the conductor is
as careful with him as with an ybody.
The traveller looks at the conductor as
he comes along, and Winks in the old
fashioned way as he did when he had a
pass, but the conductor will not have
it that way. The traveller finally takes
out his thousand mile ticket, which he
hopes will last HIM a year. He thinks
the conductor will look at it as mere
matter of form, and perhaps tear off a
mile or two, and hand it back, but the
conductor is not constructed in that
manner. If the traveller is going to
Chicago, the conductor begins to pull
out the precious miles, until he gets
eighty-five, and it seems to the traveller
as though he would not leave
enough to come back on. The
traveller looks cross, and feels hurt, and
plainly shows to the conductor that
while they have always been friends,
during pass days, they can never be
any thing to each other hereafter but
strangers. The conductor acts as
though he is sorry things are thus, but
he can't help it, and he hands back the
almost empty thousand-mile book, and
the traveller looks at the remains as a
hen may look at nest that has been
robbed of its eggs. In Chicago the
traveller thinks maybe on the return
trip the conductor will relent, and that
perhaps they may be friends again, but
he calls for the ticket in the same
cold tones, and the traveller hands it
out, with his heart in his mouth, finds
his voice and says, 'For heavens sake
go light on that Without moving
muscle of his face the conductor, who
was once such a jolly good fellow. be-
gins to pull out the miles until he has
captured eighty-fve, the exact numb Ell,
when he hands back the empty
shell, and the traveller is so mad he
looks out of the window and does not
speak to his old friend, the conductor,
all the way back. The traveller feels
hurt. He feels that the conductor has
been tempered with, and that there is
a conspiracy between him and the COM
pany to get all there is. And yet the
traveller is wrong. If the conductor did
not take the full amount. he would be
beating the company that employs
him, and the traveller would be an ac-
cessary to a case of petit larceny. He
sits there and pouts. and is mad be-
cause the conductor will not steal miles
from the company and give them to the
traveller. It will take about 4 year for
some travellers to realize that business
is business, and that if he wants anyone
to steal for him he has got to hire a
man, and not try to 60 'tsnucks'' with
an employe of the railroads. That's
about the size of it.-Peck's Sun.

Sheep Breeders Association.

The annual meeting of the Shiawas.
see county Sheep Breeders and Wool
Growers association was held at the
Court House, Corunna, on Tuesday
The day was Utterly cold, but the
attendance at the meeting was good,
citizens being present from every part
of the county; from outside the coun-
ty there were presen', X. B. Caruss,
of St. Johns; ID. p. Dewey and Geo.
w. Stuart, of Grand Blanc, and that
"bustler of hustlers," Robt. Gibbons,
editor Of the Michigan Farmer. The
programme arranged, was carried out
only in part, owing to the absence of
Hon. VIM. Ball, who was TO have
delivered an address on the "Sheep
Industry in Michigan" and the IN
avoidable failure Of others to prepare
papers. In his paper on 1.-THE Out
look for Mernos," Mr.. Gibbons ex
planned the causes of the low prices
of sheep, wool, ETC., and how, as the
causes were disappearing, prices were
certain to be better and the outlook
good. We shall print this paper in
full IN future issue. The opening
address of the president predicted a
bright future for the breeders of
Merino sheep, and urged all to keep
their fiocks and improve them. The
Question Box, under the management
Of ] w. Hubbard, proved to be one
Of the happy hits Of the occasion, and
questions ofevery kind were discussed
in detail. The election of officers
resulted in the re election of the old
ones as follows: president, J. Z. Gil
